See Also read.xport Examples ## Not run: lookup.xport("transport") ## End(Not run) read.arff Read Data from ARFF Files Description Reads data from Weka Attribute-Relation File Format (ARFF) files. Usage read.arff(file) Arguments file a character string with the name of the ARFF file to read from, or a connection which will be opened if necessary, and if so closed at the end of the function call. Value A data frame containing the data from the ARFF file. References Attribute-Relation File Format http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/arff.html http://weka.sourceforge.net/wekadoc/index.php/en:ARFF_(3.5.1) See Also write.arff 4 read.dbf read.dbf Read a DBF File Description The function reads a DBF file into a data frame, converting character fields to factors, and trying to respect NULL fields. Usage read.dbf(file, as.is = FALSE) Arguments file name of input file as.is should character vectors not be converted to factors? Details DBF is the extension used for files written for the ‘XBASE’ family of database languages, ‘cover- ing the dBase, Clipper, FoxPro, and their Windows equivalents Visual dBase, Visual Objects, and Visual FoxPro, plus some older products’ (http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/ format/). Most of these follow the file structure used by Ashton-Tate’s dBase II, III or 4 (later owned by Borland). read.dbf is based on C code from http://shapelib.maptools.org/ which implements the ‘XBASE’ specification. It can convert fields of type "L" (logical), "N" and "F" (numeric and float) and "D" (dates): all other field types are read as-is as character vectors. A numeric field is read as an R integer vector if it is encoded to have no decimals, otherwise as a numeric vector. However, if the numbers are too large to fit into an integer vector, it is changed to numeric. Note that is possible to read integers that cannot be represented exactly even as doubles: this sometimes occurs if IDs are incorrectly coded as numeric. Value A data frame of data from the DBF file; note that the field names are adjusted to use in R using make.names(unique=TRUE). There is an attribute "data_type" giving the single-character dBase types for each field.

Usage read.dta(file, convert.dates = TRUE, convert.factors = TRUE, missing.type = FALSE, convert.underscore = FALSE, warn.missing.labels = TRUE) Arguments file a filename or URL as a character string. convert.dates Convert Stata dates to Date class? convert.factors Use Stata value labels to create factors? (version 6.0 or later). missing.type For version 8 or later, store information about different types of missing data? convert.underscore Convert "_" in Stata variable names to "." in R names? warn.missing.labels Warn if a variable is specified with value labels and those value labels are not present in the file. Details If the filename appears to be a URL (of schemes ‘http:’, ‘ftp:’ or ‘https:’) the URL is first downloaded to a temporary file and then read. (‘https:’ is only supported on some platforms.) The variables in the Stata data set become the columns of the data frame. Missing values are correctly handled. The data label, variable labels, and timestamp are stored as attributes of the data frame. Nothing is done with variable characteristics. By default Stata dates (%d and %td formats) are converted to R’s Date class and variables with Stata value labels are converted to factors. Ordinarily, read.dta will not convert a variable to a factor unless a label is present for every level. Use convert.factors = NA to override this. In any case the value label and format information is stored as attributes on the returned data frame. 6 read.epiinfo Stata 8.0 introduced a system of 27 different missing data values. If missing.type is TRUE a separate list is created with the same variable names as the loaded data. For string variables the list value is NULL. For other variables the value is NA where the observation is not missing and 0–26 when the observation is missing. This is attached as the "missing" attribute of the returned value. Value A data frame with attributes. These will include "datalabel", "time.stamp", "formats", "types", "val.labels", "var.labels" and "version" and may include "label.table". Possible ver- sions are 5, 6, 7, -7 (Stata 7SE, ‘format-111’), 8 (Stata 8 and 9, ‘format-113’) and 10 (Stata 10 and 11, ‘format-114’). Stata 12 by default uses ‘format-115’, which is read as ‘format-114’ (the Stata documentation says its structure is identical). The value labels in attribute "val.labels" name a table for each variable, or are an empty string. The tables are elements of the named list attribute "label.table": each is an integer vector with names.

Epi Info is a public domain database and statistics package produced by the US Centers for Disease Control and EpiData is a freely available data entry and validation system. read.epiinfo 7 Usage read.epiinfo(file, read.deleted = FALSE, guess.broken.dates = FALSE, thisyear = NULL, lower.case.names = FALSE) Arguments file A filename, URL, or connection. read.deleted Deleted records are read if TRUE, omitted if FALSE or replaced with NA if NA. guess.broken.dates Attempt to convert dates with 0 or 2 digit year information (see ‘Details’). thisyear A 4-digit year to use for dates with no year. Defaults to the current year. lower.case.names Convert variable names to lowercase? Details Epi Info allows dates to be specified with no year or with a 2 or 4 digits. Dates with four-digit years are always converted to Date class. With the guess.broken.dates option the function will attempt to convert two-digit years using the operating system’s default method (see Date) and will use the current year or the thisyear argument for dates with no year information. If read.deleted is TRUE the "deleted" attribute of the data frame indicates the deleted records. Value A data frame. Note Epi Info 2000, the current version, uses the Microsoft Access file format to store data. This may be readable with the RODBC or RDCOM packages.

  • A Comparative Evaluation of Matlab, Octave, R, and Julia on Maya 1 Introduction
    A Comparative Evaluation of Matlab, Octave, R, and Julia on Maya Sai K. Popuri and Matthias K. Gobbert* Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland, Baltimore County *Corresponding author: [email protected], www.umbc.edu/~gobbert Technical Report HPCF{2017{3, hpcf.umbc.edu > Publications Abstract Matlab is the most popular commercial package for numerical computations in mathematics, statistics, the sciences, engineering, and other fields. Octave is a freely available software used for numerical computing. R is a popular open source freely available software often used for statistical analysis and computing. Julia is a recent open source freely available high-level programming language with a sophisticated com- piler for high-performance numerical and statistical computing. They are all available to download on the Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. We investigate whether the three freely available software are viable alternatives to Matlab for uses in research and teaching. We compare the results on part of the equipment of the cluster maya in the UMBC High Performance Computing Facility. The equipment has 72 nodes, each with two Intel E5-2650v2 Ivy Bridge (2.6 GHz, 20 MB cache) proces- sors with 8 cores per CPU, for a total of 16 cores per node. All nodes have 64 GB of main memory and are connected by a quad-data rate InfiniBand interconnect. The tests focused on usability lead us to conclude that Octave is the most compatible with Matlab, since it uses the same syntax and has the native capability of running m-files. R was hampered by somewhat different syntax or function names and some missing functions.

  • A Fast Dynamic Language for Technical Computing
    Julia A Fast Dynamic Language for Technical Computing Created by: Jeff Bezanson, Stefan Karpinski, Viral B.

What we are trying to do: ‣ allow developing complete technical projects in a single language without sacrificing productivity or performance This does not mean not using components in other languages! ‣ Julia uses C, C++ and Fortran libraries extensively “Because We Are Greedy.” “We want a language that’s open source, with a liberal license. We want the speed of C with the dynamism of Ruby. We want a language that’s homoiconic, with true macros like Lisp, but with obvious, familiar mathematical notation like Matlab. We want something as usable for general programming as Python, as easy for statistics as R, as natural for string processing as Perl, as powerful for linear algebra as Matlab, as good at gluing programs together as the shell. Something that is dirt simple to learn, yet keeps the most serious hackers happy.” Collapsing Dichotomies Many of these are just a matter of design and focus ‣ stats vs. linear algebra vs. strings vs.

    AN INTRODUCTION TO R DEEPAYAN SARKAR Introduction and examples What is R?. R provides an environment in which you can perform statistical analysis and produce graphics. It is actually a complete programming language, although that is only marginally described in this book. |Peter Dalgaard, \Introductory Statistics with R", 2002 R can be viewed as a programming language that happens to come with a large library of pre-defined functions that can be used to perform various tasks. A major focus of these pre-defined functions is statistical data analysis, and these allow R to be used purely as a toolbox for standard statistical techniques. However, some knowledge of R programming is essential to use it well at any level. For advanced users in particular, the main appeal of R (as opposed to other data analysis software) is as a programming environment suited to data analysis. Our goal will be to learn R as a statistics toolbox, but with a fairly strong emphasis on its programming language aspects. In this tutorial, we will do some elementary statistics, learn to use the documentation system, and learn about common data structures and programming features in R. Some follow-up tutorials are available for self-study at http://www.isid.ac.in/~deepayan/R-tutorials/. For more resources, see the R Project homepage http://www.r-project.org, which links to various manuals and other user-contributed documentation. A list of books related to R is available at http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-jabref.html. An excellent introductory book is Peter Dalgaard, \Introductory Statistics with R", Springer (2002).
